Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of planar inductor technology, specifically a low-loss planar inductor. Background Technology

[0002] Planar inductors are inductor devices manufactured using planar technology. Their core structure consists of a coil and a magnetic core (or no magnetic core). They are characterized by being ultra-thin, compact, and easy to integrate. Compared to traditional wire-wound inductors (such as toroidal and cylindrical inductors), planar inductors significantly reduce height through planar design, making them suitable for the miniaturization and lightweight requirements of modern electronic devices. They are widely used in consumer electronics, automotive electronics, communication equipment, and other fields.

[0003] When in use, planar inductors are affected by various external vibration sources, such as equipment movement and mechanical vibration. For planar inductors, vibration may cause problems such as displacement and loosening of their internal structure, which in turn affects the performance of the inductor, increases losses, and reduces the stability and reliability of electronic devices. At present, some planar inductors lack effective vibration reduction design, or the vibration reduction structure is complex and costly, which cannot meet the needs of practical applications.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a low-loss planar inductor. Utility Model Content

[0008] The circular shell has side sealing plates welded to both ends. A hollow tube is fixedly connected to the inner side of the side sealing plates. A gasket is installed on one side of the hollow tube. A connector is installed on the other side of the gasket. The outer surface of the connector is movably connected to the other end of the hollow tube. The magnetic core has mating grooves on both sides. The outer surface of the end of the connector is inserted into the inside of the mating groove.

[0009] Preferably, the inner two sides of the circular shell are fixedly connected to limit plates, the outer surfaces of both ends of the magnetic core are in contact with the inside of the limit plates, and silicone rubber is potted between the two sets of limit plates.

[0010] Preferably, a flat coil is wound on the outer surface of the magnetic core, and pins are welded to both ends of the flat coil.

[0011] Preferably, the two ends of the encapsulation shell and the circular shell are respectively provided with slot two and slot one, and a filling block is installed inside slot two and slot one.

[0012] Preferably, pins are inserted inside the second slot and the first slot, and the inside of the filling block is bonded and wrapped with the outer surface of the pins.

[0013] Preferably, the external size of the side sealing plate is the same as the internal size of the circular shell, and the lower surface of the encapsulation shell is provided with an installation groove, and a second gasket is installed inside the installation groove. The first gasket and the second gasket are made of polyurethane material.

[0014] Preferably, the filler block is made of polyurethane material.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This low-loss planar inductor, through its design of using flat coils wound on the surface of the magnetic core, reduces high-frequency losses, effectively suppresses skin and proximity effects, reduces copper and magnetic losses, and ensures the low loss of the planar inductor. At the same time, the space within the limiting plate assembly is encapsulated with silicone rubber, and the first gasket, filler block, and mounting groove are made of polyurethane material, which can reduce the vibration of the planar inductor, enhance the stability of the magnetic core structure, reduce its mechanical damage, and further improve its low-loss performance.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A low-loss planar inductor includes a package housing 1, a magnetic core 2, and a flat coil 210.

[0029] A circular housing 110 is installed inside the encapsulation housing 1, and a magnetic core 2 is disposed inside the circular housing 110;

[0030] The two ends of the circular shell 110 are welded with side sealing plates 114. A hollow tube 111 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the side sealing plate 114. A gasket 112 is installed on one side of the hollow tube 111. A connector 113 is installed on the other side of the gasket 112. The outer surface of the connector 113 is movably connected to the other end of the hollow tube 111. The magnetic core 2 has mating grooves 220 on both sides. The outer surface of the end of the connector 113 is inserted into the inside of the mating groove 220. A flat coil 210 is wound on the outer surface of the magnetic core 2. The two ends of the flat coil 210 are welded with pins 230.

[0031] The design of using a flat coil 210 wound on the surface of the magnetic core 2 can reduce high-frequency loss, effectively suppress skin effect and proximity effect, reduce copper loss and magnetic loss, and ensure low loss of planar inductor. At the same time, the pad 112 is made of polyurethane material, which can effectively reduce the impact of vibration on the magnetic core 2 assembly and ensure its normal operation.

[0033] Encapsulating the space between the limiting plates 3 with silicone rubber can fill the internal gaps, fix the magnetic core 2 and the flat coil 210, reduce collisions between components, and, combined with the aforementioned gasket 112, further reduce the impact of vibration.

[0034] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the two ends of the encapsulation shell 1 and the circular shell 110 are respectively provided with a second slot 420 and a first slot 410.

The inside of the filler block 4 is bonded and wrapped with the outer surface of the pin 230. The filler block 4 is made of polyurethane material.

[0035] The portion of pin 230 that contacts the package housing 1 and the circular housing 110 is wrapped with a filler block 4 made of polyurethane material. This can reduce the collision between pin 230 and the package housing 1 and the circular housing 110 caused by vibration, ensure the integrity of pin 230 and avoid mechanical damage.

[0036] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the external size of the side sealing plate 114 is the same as the internal size of the circular shell 110.
